Let's analyze each image to determine whether it shows a
free-standing sculpture (FS) or a
relief sculpture (RS).
Definitions:
-
Free-standing sculpture (FS): A sculpture that is not attached to a background and can be viewed from all sides.
-
Relief sculpture (RS): A sculpture where the design is carved into a flat surface, projecting out slightly. It is attached to a background and meant to be viewed from one side.

Now let’s go through each image:
1.
Top left: A seated figure on a base, standing independently.
→
FS (It is free-standing, not attached to a wall.)
2.
Top center: Buddha figure carved into a stone panel with trees around it.
→
RS (This is a relief; the figure projects from a flat background.)
3.
Top right: Abstract form made of curved tubes on a base.
→
FS (It stands freely on its own base, not attached to a wall.)
4.
Middle left: Intricate floral pattern carved into a flat wooden panel.
→
RS (It's a decorative carving on a flat surface—relief.)
5.
Middle center: Abstract golden flame-like sculpture on a pedestal.
→
FS (It is freestanding and not attached to a wall.)
6.
Middle right: Ornate floral carving on a flat surface.
→
RS (Again, this is a relief carving on a flat panel.)
7.
Bottom left: A bowl-shaped object on a pedestal.
→
FS (It is a standalone object, freestanding.)
8.
Bottom center: Carved panels showing figures in scenes.
→
RS (These are carved into flat panels—relief sculptures.)
9.
Bottom right: Birds and tree carved into a flat surface.
→
RS (Clearly a relief sculpture, as it's projecting from a flat background.)
